How it works

Use the height measured at a right angle to the base.

FORMULA

Area = base × height / 2

A worked example

Base 6 m and height 4 m give 12 m².

Formula & detailed explanation

Base and perpendicular height must be nonnegative. The height is not a sloping side.

Calculations use decimal arithmetic with 40 significant digits internally. Choose 0–8 decimal places for the displayed result. Trailing zeros are omitted. Rounding affects only the displayed and copied result; very small values may round to zero. Accepted inputs have up to 100 characters and magnitudes from 10⁻¹⁰⁰ to 10¹⁰⁰, plus zero.
